"Thanks for your help, raybbr! Your advertising skill put me here!!"

Oh boy. You should change your name to: hyperbole + Polybius=Hyperpolybius. BTW I notice that you and few others keep mentioning Hillary no matter what others say.

It is no more hyperbole that claiming that campaign advertising written in a form that is easier for your target audience to read is "pandering".

Unless your family has lived for the last 200 in the backwoods of the Appalachian Mountains, chances are that your family tree has somebody from the waves of immigrants who came to America ever since the European upheavals of 1848.

After the Civil War, the Republican Party had a hammer-lock on political power and sat on its laurels. They either ignored the immigrant or were openly hostile to them. In their political cartoons, the Republicn "Harper's Weekly Magazine" always made it a point to portray Irish immigrants as apes.

The Democrats, however, sought out your great-great-grandparents be they "Pollocks" or "Micks" or "Krauts" or "Wops" or "Kikes" and spoke to them and communicated with them in political pamphlets written in their own native Polish or Gaelic or German or Italian or Yiddish.

As a result, they won over the hearts of those immigrants in the 1880's and 1890's and 1900's and 1910's. And the hearts of their children and and their children.

That is why the Democrats controlled politics for the last three quarters of a century.

You are advocating making the same mistake all over again.

You do realize you just made my argument against the GOP's pandering in spanish, don't you?

If you don't think so insert "spic" for your derogatory terms and spanish in the pamphlets part.

Thanks for affirming my position.
